About
Marc J. van Det is a leading figure in the advancement of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), a complex surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. As a key contributor to the Upper GI International Robotic Association (UGIRA), his work has been instrumental in moving the field beyond single-center reports to robust, international, multicenter analyses. His landmark 2020 study, with 73 citations, provided the first comprehensive global snapshot of RAMIE techniques and outcomes, establishing a critical benchmark for the field. Dr. van Det’s research directly addresses the most pressing technical challenges in esophagectomy, including the optimal configuration of the abdominal phase (hybrid vs. full RAMIE) and the prevention of anastomotic leakage, a major source of morbidity. By leveraging large, propensity-score matched datasets from the UGIRA registry, his work offers evidence-based guidance for surgeons worldwide, directly impacting patient safety and recovery. His ongoing leadership in the UGIRA registry continues to define the current state and future direction of robotic esophageal surgery, making him a pivotal voice in the global effort to refine and standardize this life-saving procedure.
